A bad day for Farmers.

Farmers Insurance just got hit for a $130M verdict, $80M of which was for bad faith and punitive damages. Wow!

In case you didn’t know Farmers is one of those companies that has created for themselves a reputation of being very hard to deal with when it comes to resolving claims.  I still don’t understand the logic behind a company making such a name for itself in the market place.  Wouldn’t it be better to have a reputation of being fair to the policyholder? Don’t kid yourself.  Someone on that jury knew of Farmers reputation.
